    The views on clear days are impressive, and the experience of climbing to the top and seeing the crater is indescribable.

    To climb to the top of Teide you have to request permission online in advance, but not for the Pico Viejo viewpoint.

      Take the cable car to the top and then to the summit in around 30 minutes. Breathtakingly beautiful! It is essential to register in advance via the Internet, only 300 people are allowed to the summit a day.

      Appropriate clothing and sufficient water are essential. On the beach it was 30 degrees, at the summit only seven degrees! When the wind is around 50 km / h, you can cool down slightly, and the sun's intensity is extremely high. The air is also much scarcer - around 20 percent less oxygen, which you can already feel! A height of 3,718 meters is also not without ...

      Since the wind had picked up, we were lucky to get down by train. As the last train of the day, we left at 1 p.m. After that, the runway was closed because of the wind. But since all hikers were registered with ID numbers, none of those who had registered stayed up. But whoever ascends in the hope of a descent should also take this risk of descent into account.

      Teide summit: an absolute "must have done"! Hot air springs and sulphurous holes just below the summit. Great nature experiences are guaranteed.

        An absolute highlight on Tenerife. An ascent of Kraterspitze must be planned in time - you need a permit - book here:
